, Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia, Oberhausen - Renaturalisation of the Emscher in the Holtener Bruch. In front, the new Oberhausen pumping station. On the right, the OQ Chemicals plant Ruhrchemie. The Emscher, which has now been straightened, is once again taking bends and can meander through its new floodplain. The ecological conversion of the Emscher system consists of the construction of a central sewage system in the Ruhr area, the construction of sewage canals and the renaturation of the Emscher and its tributaries. The Emscher has been completely free of sewage since January 2022 following the construction of a parallel sewage canal. The river was previously an open, above-ground combined sewer with rainwater and wastewater.
